that the King should never be restored to his place and Power by which he might be called to a reckoning for them Fuller It Seems Multa videntur quae non sunt The Inference is false and forced Titus Livius lived in Imperial yet wrote of Regal Consulatory Tribunitial at Rome without the least imputation of falshood I conceive Monarchical Aristocratical and Democralical truth to be One and the Same It followeth not that two-faced Ianus as beholding two worlds one before the other after the Flood had also two Hearts I did not attemper my History to the Palat of the Government so as to sweeten it with any Falshood but I made it Palatable thus far forth as not to give a wilful disgust to those in present Power and procure danger to my self by using any over-salt tart or bitter Expression better forborn than inserted without any prejudice to the Truth Dr. Heylyn For in the second Book he reckons the Cross in Baptism for a Popish Trinket by which it appears not I am sure to have been written in the time of Kingly Government that being no expression sutable unto such a time Fuller Should I simply and absolutely call the Cross in Baptisme a Popish Trinket my fore-head Signed therewith would give my Tongue the lye and return the Popery in the teeth thereof I behold it as an Ancient and Significant Ceremony but in no degree essentiall to or completory of the Sacrament witness the wisdome of the Church of England which in private Baptism permitteth the omitting thereof But when Ceremonyes shall devour their distance and intrude themselves necessary and essential it is high time to term them Superstititious Trinkets The rest I referr to what I have written when this passage recurreth in the place cited by the Animadvertor Dr. Heylyn Secondly speaking of the precedency which was fixt in Canterbury by removing the Archiepiscopal See from London thither he telleth us that the matter is not much which See went first when living seeing our Age hath laid them both alike level in their Graves But certainly the Government was not changed into a State or Commonwealth till the death of the King and till the death of the King neither of those Episcopall Sees nor any of the rest were laid so level in their Graves but that they were in hope of a Resurrection the King declaring himself very constantly in the Treaty at the Isle of Wight as well against the abolishing of the Episcopal Government as the alienation of their Lands Thirdly In the latter end of the same Book he makes a great dispute against the high and sacred priviledge of the Kings of England in curing the disease comonly called the Kings Evil whether to be imputed to Magick or Imagination or indeed a Miracle next brings us in an old Wives Tale about Queen Elizabeth as if she had disclaimed that power she daily exercised and finally manageth a Quarrel against the form of Prayer used at the curing of that Evil which he arraigns for Superstition and impertinencies no inferior Crimes Are all these passages proper to that Government also Finally in the third Book he derogates from the power of the Church in making Canons giving the binding and concluding Power in matters which concern the civil Rights of the Subjects not to the King but to the Lay-people of the Land assembled in Parliament which game he after followeth in the eighth and last And though it might be safe enough for him in the eighth and last to derogate in this manner from the King's supremacy in Ecclesiastical affairs yet certainly it was neither safe for him so to do nor proper for him so to write in the time of the Kingly Government unless he had some such wretched hopes as before we spake of Fuller I desire the Reader to remember my late words as the Animadvertor recited them FOR THE MAIN I confess though these Books were written in the Reign of King Charles yet after his Death I interpolated some lines and amongst others that of levelling all Bishopricks I raised no dispute against the Kings curing the Evil it being raised before I was born and which I endeavoured to allay referring it to Miracle as to the peruser of my History in that place will appear I tell no old Wives Tale of Queen Elizabeth it being a Masculine Truth from most authentick Authors I derogate not in the least degree from the power of the Church but the Animadvertor doth arrogate unto it more then is due by the Lawes of God and Man maintaining that Church-men may go beyond Ecclesiastical Censures even to the Limbs and Lives of such as are Recusants to their Constitutions WRETCHED and what formerly he said DISLOYAL HOPES I defie and return them in the Teeth of him that wrote the words He had WRETCHED AND DISLOIAL HOPES who wrote that King Iames went to New-market as Tiberius to his Capreae he waved his Loyalty and Discretion together who so saucily and un-subject-like counted how often King Charles waved his Crown Here give me leave to tell the Animadvertor that such whom he slighteth for LOW-ROYALISTS were whilst they had a King in England as HIGH in their Loyalty to him Prayers and Sufferings for him as those HIGH-ROIALISTS who maintain that all goods of the Subjects are at the King 's absolute Dispose and yet since those Kings are departed this life can write of them in so base and disparaging Language that any one of the LOW-ROIALISTS would have his right hand cut off rather then write the like Reader pardon my too just passion when DISLOIALTY is laid to my charge It is with me Either now speak or else for ever hereafter hold your Peace Dr. Heylyn I must needs say that on the reading of these Passages and the rest that follow I found my self possest with much Indignation And I long expected when some Champion would appear in the Listes against this Goliah who so reproachfully had defied the whole Armyes of Israel And I must needs confess withal that I did never enter more unwillingly on any undertaking But beeing solicited thereunto by Letters Messages and several personal Addresses by Men of all Orders and Dignityes in the Church and of all degrees in the Universities I was at last overcome by that Importunity which I found would not be resisted Fuller Indignation is grief and anger boiled up to the height What just cause I have given for so great passion the Reader will judge If I be a Goliah in this point may I have his Success to be conquered killed and my head cut off even with my own Sword If I be none May the Animadvertor be graciously pardoned And it may be he shall never come off any undertaking more unhappily I could mate him with telling him that Men of all Sorts and Sizes their Equals in Number and Quality have likewise importuned me not tamely to sit down but to vindicate my own credit and conscience Dr. Heylyn
makes no Truce but a perfect peace never hereafter to let the least disgracefull drop of Inke to fall upon it Dr. Heylyn From the Arch-bishop of Canterbury I should proceed to Dr. Williams Archbishop of York but that I must first remove a Block which lyes in my Way Our Author having told us of the making and Printing the Directory is not content to let us see the cold entertainment which it found when it came abroad but lets us see it in such tearms as wee did not looke for Fuller This Block is no bigger then a Straw so that a flea may leap over it but the Animadvertor is pleased to see all things thorough a Magnifying-Glasse as will appear hereafter Dr. Heylyn Fol. 222. Such saith our Author was call it constancy or obstinacy love or doting of the generality of the Nation on the Common prayer that the Parliament found it fit yea necessary to back their former Ordinance with a second Assuredly the generality of the people of England is much beholding to our Author for making Question whether their adhering to the Liturgy then by Law established were not to be imputed rather to Obstinacy and Doting than to Love and Constancy Fuller It is no Question in my Iudgement or Conscience when it is out of all Question as either never started or soon decided therein but a Question it is in the practise of our distracted age which I behold like the Citty of Ephesus Some cryed one thing some another for the Assembly was confused Till this Tumult be appeased I desire to stand by in silence and give every Man his own Words Some call Constancy and Love which side I doe seem secretly to favour for giving it the upper hand and naming it in the first place Others call it Obstinacy and Doting as they are severally perswaded What is my Offence or where is the Block the Animadvertor complaineth of as if he needed to call for Leavers to remove it Dr. Heylyn The Liturgy had been lookt on as a great Blessing of God upon this Nation by the Generality of People for the space of fourscore years and upwards they found it established by the Law seal'd by the Bloud of those that made it confirm'd by many Godly and Religious Princes and had almost no other forme of making their addresses to Almighty God but what was taught them in the Book of Common Prayer And could any discreet man think or wise man hope that a Form of Prayer so universally receiv'd and so much esteem'd could be laid by without Reluctancy in those who had been so long accustomed to it or called Obstinacy or Doting in them if they did not presently submit to every New Nothing which in the Name of the then disputable Authority should be laid before them And though our Author doth professe that in the Agitating of this Controversie pro and Con he will reserve his private opinion to himselfe yet he discovers it too plainly in the present passage Quid verba audiam cum facta videam is a good rule here He must needs shew his private Opinion in this point say he what he can who makes a Question whether the Adhesion of the People generally to the publick Liturgy were built on Obstinacy and Doating or on Love and Constancy Fuller I concurre with the Animadvertor in his Encomiastick Expressions on the Common Prayer Otherwise nothing new occurs in this which was not in the former Paragraph And therefore the Blow being the same onely layed on with a little more eagernesse I conceive the same Guard will serve to defend it without any further repetition Dr. Heylyn But if it must be Obstinacy or Doating in the generality of the People to adhere so cordially to the Book of Common Prayer I marvell what it must be called in Stephen Marshall of Essex that great Bell-Weather for a time of the Presbyterians who having had a Chief hand in compiling the Directory did notwithstanding Marry his owne Daughter by the forme prescribed in the common-prayer-Common-Prayer-Book and â—aving so done paid down â—ive pounds immediately to the Church-Wardens of the Parish as the Fine or Forfeiture for using any other forme of Marriage then that of the Directory The like to which I have credibly been informed was done by Mr. Knightly of Fawsley on the like occasion and probably by many others of the same Straine also Fuller All this is Nothing to me who am not bound to answer for the Actions of other Men. I know there was in England a Juncture of Time which in this point may be compared to the Evening TWILIGHT so called from TWALIGHT or double Light the one of the Day not wholly gon down the other of the Candle but newly set up Such the Crepusculum vespertinum in our Land when the Day of the Liturgy yet dimly shined and the Candle of the Directory was also lighted a short Candle which presently burnt down to the Socket It is possible that in this Coincidence some in Majorem Cautelam twisted the Liturgy and Directory together as since some have joyned to both Marriage by a Iustice of Peace that so a Threefold Cable might not be broken Let them which best can given an account of their own Carriage herein Dr. Heylyn With the like Favour he beholds the two Universities as he doth the Liturgy and hard it is to say which he injureth most Fuller I injure neither of them But in this passage the Animadvertor onely whets his Sword and I scoure my Shield preparing against his deadly blow in the next Paragraph Dr. Heylyn And first beginning with Oxford he let us know that Fol. 231. Lately certain Delegates from the Univesity of Oxford pleaded their priviledges before the Committee of Parliament that they were onely visitable by the King and such who should be deputed by him But their Allegations were not of proof against the Paramount power of Parliament the rather because a passage in an Article at the rendition of Oxford was urged against them wherein they were subjected to such a Visitation Our Author here subjects the University of Oxford to the power of the Parliament and that not onely in regard of that Paramount power which he ascribes unto the Parliament that is to say the two Houses of Parliament for so we are to understand him above all Estates but also in regard of an Article concerning the surrendry of Oxford by which that University was subjected to such Visitations Fuller When I see a Corslet shot thorough with a Musket bullet and the Person wounded that wore it I may safely say that Corslet is not of proof against the Musket So when I behold the Pleadings of the Delegates neglected and null'd I may say that de Facto they were not of proof against Parliamentary power A passage possibly written by me such my affection to my Aunt Oxâ—ord with more griefe then it is read by the Animadvertor with anger but Truth is truth whether it be
However I conceived my self bound in Duty to David's Command Not onely to seek peace but to pursue it though in some sort it fled away from me being now informed that the Doctor was writing against me wherefore finding him in Fleetstreet and following him at his heels to his Chamber at a Stationers house over again St. Dunstan's Church I sent up my Name to him by a Servant of the House desiring to speak a few Words with him the Messenger went to him and return'd me this Answer That the Doctor was very busie and could not be spoken with Thus my Treaty for Peace taking no effect I armed my self with Patience and quietly expected the coming forth of his Book against me CHAP. III. That after serious Debate the Author found himself Necessitated to make this Appeal in his own just Vindication HAving perused the Books of the Animadvertor against me it bare a strong Debate within me whether I should pass it over in silence or return an Answer unto him and Arguments on both sides presented themselves unto me Silence seemed best because I lacked leisure solemnly to confute his Animadversions having at this time so much and various Imployment The Cow was well stocked with Milk thus praised by the Poet Bis venit ad Mulctrum binos alit Ubere faetus She suckles Two yet doth not fail Twice a day to come to th' Pail But I justly feared who twice a Lords-day do come to the Pulpit God knows my Heart I speak it not to Ostentation that I could not suckle my Parish and the Press without Starving or Short-feeding of one Whereas the Animadvertor in his retired Life gives no other Milk then following his own private Studies Secondly I suggested to my self that the second blow makes the Frey and should I rejoyn probably it would engage me in an endless Contest with which my declining age could ill comport I remembred the Man who moved in Chancery for a Gelt Order which should beget no more but knew not when any such Eunuch-Answer should pass betwixt us to put a period to the Controversie Lastly our Saviours counsel came into my mind Matth. 5.39 Resist not evil but whosoever shall smite thee on the right side turn to him the other also And although some Divines make this Precept but Temporary as a Swadling-cloath to the Church whiles in the Infancy thereof under Persecution yet others make it alwaies Obligatory and of perpetual Continuance On the other side the Distinction came seasonably to my Remembrance of a Mans RIGHTING and REVENGING himself the latter belongs to God alone Vengeance is mine I will repay it the former Men may and in some cases must do in their owne fair defence without Breach of our Saviours Precept lately alledged I called also to Mind how in our Common Law MUTES at the Bar who would not plead to the Indictment are Adjudged guilty and therefore justly suspected I should from my Silence be concluded Cast in the Court of Religion and Learning for such Faults and Errors as the Animadvertor hath charged on me But most of all it moved me that Ministers of Gods Word and Sacraments ought to Vindicate their Credits that so they may be the more Effectual Factors for Gods glory in their Vocation When our Saviour went about to Heal the Mans withered hand on the Sabbath day Mar. 3.4 Is it lawful said he to save Life or to Kill Where I observed that our Saviour accounted not healing to be hurting yea not curing to be killing in that person who had Ability and Opportunity to do it And by the same Proportion not plaistering is Killing of ones wounded Credit and so consequently I should be FELO DE SE and by my sinful Silence be the Wilful murtherer of my own Reputation These last Reasons did preponderate with me and I resolved on two things to return a Plain Full and Speedy Answer and to refrain from all Railing which is a Sick Wit if not the Sickness of Wit and though perchance I may have something tart to Quicken the Appetite of the Reader yet nothing bitter against the Credit of the Animadvertor This my Answer I have here Entituled The APPEAL unto the RELIGIOUS LEARNED and INGENUOUS But before I close with the Animadvertor Comminùs Hand to hand let us first Eminùs try it at Distance and entertain the Reader to his Profit and Pleasure I hope with my General Defences before I proceed to Answer each Particular CHAP. IV. The Author's first General Answere taken from his Title-page and Word ENDEVOVRED MEn may be ranked into three Forms of INTENDERS ENDEVOURERS and PERFORMERS INTENDERS are the first and lowest Form yet so far favoured by some Papists that they maintain That a good Intention though embracing ill Means makes a good Action PERFORMERS are the third and highest rank to which my Thoughts dare not aspire but leave this upper room empty to be filled by Men of better parts and ability The middle Form consists of ENDEVOURERS amongst whom I took my station in the Title-page of my Book The Church-History of Britain ENDEVOURED by Thomas Fuller And as I did not hope that any Courteous Reader would call me up higher so I did not fear that any Caviller thereat could cast me lower but that I might still peaceably possess my Place of an ENDEVOURER For what though I fall short of that which I desire and strive to perform I did neither belie my self nor deceive the Reader who neither was the first nor shall be the last of whom it may be truly said Magnis excidit Ausis The Fate of many my Betters who have undertook to compass high and hard Matters But it may be objected against me that being conscious of my owne weakness with the weight of the burden I should have left the Work for some stronger back to bear and quitted it to those who would not only have endevoured but performed the same I answer first I did hope that what was acceptable to God would not be contemptible to good Men having read If there be first a willing mind it is accepted according to that a man hath and not according to that he hath not Secondly seeing this my willingness was attended with a competencie of Books Records Friends Intelligence Strength Health and Leisure be all spoken not to my praise but Gods glory I did hope something worth the Readers acceptance might be produced Lastly though failing in what I undertook I hoped to perform what might be usefull and advantagious to abler Pens undertaking the same task and to use my owne as who should forbid Expression my Beams might be Scaffolds my Corner Filling stones for his more beautiful Building The premisses encouraged me to undertake my Church-History wherein if I have not done what the Reader expected let him consider with himself whether he did not expect what I never promised Who being unwilling to be Cast by the Verdict of the Ingenuous for laying
the Canon devested of the power of Doing it such vendition and emption being by the Common-Law preserved unto them though now very commendably long disused And whereas the Clergy in their Answer pretend all their Canons grounded on the Word of God I would fain be informed where they finde in the New-Testament which ought to regulate their proceedings that the power of the Church extendeth to life limb or estate Sure I am her censures appear spiritual on the soul by those expressions Binde on Earth Cast out Deliver to Satan c. But because the Reader reserveth a lager prosecution of this point for another time we will also respit our larger answer hereunto Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 24. Indeed 1. Davids had been Christian some hundred of years whilest Canterbury was yet Pagan Not many hundred years I am sure of that nor yet so many as to make a plural number by the Latin Grammer Kent being conquered by the Saxons who brought in Paganism Anno 455. Converted unto Christianity by the preaching of Austin Anno 569. Not much more than 140. years betwixt the one and the other Fuller The Christian Antiquity of St. David bare a double Date one native or inherent the other adopted and Reputative 1. The Inherent from the time that St. David fixed there on which account I believe it was no more than 140. years senior to Canterbury 2. The Reputative from the first founding of a Bishoprick at Carleon by King Lucius which indifferently stated was about the year of our Lord 169 which was four hundred years before Canterbury Now it is notoriously known that the antiquity of Carleon whence the See was removed in computation of the seniority is adjected to St. Davids her adopted Daughter Hence was it that the Abbot of Bancar in his Answer unto Austin acknowledged himself and his Convent under the Government of the Bishop of Carleon upon Uske though then no Bishop therein meaning St. Davids thereby as Dr. Hammond and others doe unanimously allow Thus grafting St. Davids as it ought on the Stock of Carleon it is senior in Christianity to Canterbury four hundred years and FOUR may be termed Some in the stricktest propriety of Language Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 29. To whose honour he viz. King Stephen erected St. Stephens Chappel in Westminster neer the place where lately the Court of Requests was kept Our Author is here mealy mouth'd and will not parler le tout as the French men say For otherwise he might have told us that this Chappel is still standing and since the surrendry of it to King Edward the sixth hath been used for a Parliament House imployed to that purpose by the Commons as it still continueth What might induce our Author to be thus reserved I can hardly tell unless it be to prevent such inferences and observations which by some wanton wits might be made upon it Fuller I hope rather some gracious hearts will make pious improvement thereupon praying to God that seeing so many signal persons are now assembled therein the very place once dedicated as a Chappel to St. Stephen may be their more effectual Remembrancer to imitate the purity and piety of that renowned Saint That so God may be invited graciously to be present amongst them to over-rule all their consultations to his Glory the Good of the Church and State and the true honour of the Nation And to this let every good man say Amen Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 40. By the same title from his Father Jeffery Plantagenet be possessed fair lands in Anjou and Maine I had thought he had possessed somewhat more in Anjou and Maine than some fair Lands onely his Father Ieffrey Plantagenet being the Proprietary Earl of Anjou Maine and Toureine not a titular onely succeeded in the same by this King Henry and his two sons Richard and Iohn till lost unhappily by the last with the rest of our Estates on that side of the Sea From this Ieffery descended fourteen Kings of the name of Plantagenet the name not yet extinguished though it be improverished Our Author speaking of one of them who was found not long since at the Plow Lib. 2. p. 170. Another of that name publishing a Book about the Plantation of New-Albion Anno 1646. or not long before Fuller The frequent and familiar figure of MOISIS will rectifie all wherby lesse is said than meant and therefore more must be understood than is said Besides it made me mince my expression being loath to exceed because this Ieffery did not to me appear though the Earl so intire in those Dominions but that the Kings of France and England had Cities and Castles interposed therein Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 53. King John sent a base degenerous and unchristian Embassage to Admitalius Mutmelius a Mahometan King of Morocco then very puissant and possessing a great part of Spain This Admiralius Murmelius as our Author and the old Monks call him was by his own name called Mahomet Enaser the Miramomoline of Morocco to whom if King Iohn sent any such Message it was as base unchristian and degenerate as our Author makes it Fuller I will ingenuously confesse that the first time I found this Story was in the Doctors Miâ—ro-cosm the novelty making me take the more notice thereof Though since I have met with it in M. Paris the fountain and other Authors the channels thereof I conceive it was as lawfull for me to relate it as for the Animadvertor who epitheis this Embassy BASE DEGENEROUS and UNCHRISTIAN the words which in me he reproveth Dr. Heylin But being the credit of the Tale depends upon the credit of the Monkish Authors to which brood of men that King was known to be a prosessed Enemy hating and hated by one another it is not to be esteemed so highly as a piece of Apocrypha and much lesse to be held for Gospel Fuller Here he rather speaks aliter than alia from what I had written on the same Subject who thus concluded the Character of King Iohn Church-Hist Book 3. pag. 54. We onely behold him Him thorough such a Light as the Friers his foes shew him in who so hold the candle that with the Shadow thereof they darken his virtues and present onely his Vices yea and as if they had also poysoned his memory they cause his faults to swell to a prodigious greatnesse making him with their pens more black in conditions than the Morocco King whose aid he requested could be in complexion Here I desire to give the Reader a â—aste of what doth frequently occur in this Book and of what I justly did complain viz. the Animadvertor sometimes not liking my language as not proper and expressive enough substituteth his own with little or no variation of matter I confesse he is not bound to use my words and such variations simply in it self is no wrong unto me but it becometh
to a more pleasant tune from barking for food to the blessing of those who procured it Now let any censure this a digression from my History for though my Estate will not suffer me with Job to be eyes to the blind and feet to the lame I will endeavor what I can to be a tongue for the Dumbe Let the Reader judge betwixt me and the Animadvertor whether in this particular matter controverted I have not done the poor Clergy as much right as lay in my power and more than consisted with my safety Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 357. But this was done without any great cost to the Crown onely by altering the Property of the place from a late made Cathedral to an Abbey Our Author speaks this of the Church of Westminster which though it suffered many changes yet had it no such change as our Author speaks of that is to say from a Cathedral to an Abbey without any other alteration which came in between c. Fuller I said not that it was immediatly changed from a Cathedral to an Abbey but that it was changed and that without any great cost to the Crown so my words want nothing but a candid Reader of them Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 359. Nor can I finde in the first year of Queen Elizabeth any particular Statute wherein as in the reign of King Henry the eight these Orders are nominatim suppressed c. But first the several Orders of Religious Persons were not suppressed nominatim except that of St. Iohns by a Statute in the time of King Henry the eighth Secondly if there were no such Statute yet was it not because those Houses had no legal settlement as it after followeth Queen Mary being vested with a power of granting Mortmains and consequently of founding these Religious Houses in a legal way Thirdly there might be such a Statute though our Author never had the good luck to see it and yet for want of such good luck I finde him apt enough to think there was no such Statute Et quod non invenit usquam esse putat nusquam in the Poets language c. Fuller I could not then finde the Statute and I am not ashamed to confesse it Let those be censured who pretend to have found what they have noâ— and so by their confidence or impudence rather abuse Posterity Since I have found a Copy thereof in Sr. Thomas Cottons Library with many Commissions granted thereupon for the dissolution of such Marian foundations Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 369. Jesuits the last and newest of all Orders The newest if the last there 's doubt of that But the last they were not the Oratorians as they call them being of a later brood The Iesuites founded by Ignatius Loyola a Spaniard and confirmed by Pope Paul the third Anno 1540. The Oratorians founded by Philip Merio a Florentine and confirmed by Pope Pius the fourth Anno 1564. By which accompt these Oratorians are younger Brethren to the Iesuits by the space of four and twenty years and consequently the Iesuites not the last and newest of Religious Orders Fuller Writing the Church-History of Britain I herein confined my expression thereunto The Iesuites are the last and newest Order whose over-activity in our Land commends or condemns them rather to publick notice Idem est non esse non apparere The Oratorians never appeared in England save an handfull of them who at Queen Maries first arrival from France onely came Hither to goe hence a few moneths after THE SEVENTH BOOK Containing the Reign of King Edward the sixth Dr. Heylin WE are now come unto the Reign of King Edward the sixth which our Author passeth lightly over though very full of action and great alterations And here the first thing which I meet with is an unnecessary Quaere which he makes about the Injunctions of this King Amongst which we finde one concerning the religious keeping of the Holy-dayes in the close whereof it is declared That it shall be lawfull for all people in time of Harvest to labour upon Holy and Festival dayes and save that thing which God hath sent and that scrupulosity to abstain from working on those dayes doth grievously offend God Our Author hereupon makes this Quaere that is to say fol. 375. Whether in the 24 Injuâ—ction labouring in time of Harvest upon Holy-dayes and Festivals relateth not onely to those of Ecclesiastical Constitution as dedicated to Saints or be inclusive of the Lords-day also Were not our Author a great Zelot for the Lords-day-Sabbath and studious to intitle it to some antiquity we had not met with such a Quaere The Law and practise of those times make this plain enough c. Fuller It is better to be over doubtfull than over confident It had been much for the credit and nothing against the Conscience of the Animadvertor if he had made quaeries where he so positively and falsly hath concluded against me Now my Quaere is answered And I believe that the Lords Day was included within the numbâ—r of holy dayes and common work permitted thereon This maketh me bespeak my own and the Readers justly suspecting that the Animadvertor will not joyn with us herein on this account thankfulnesse to God That the Reformation since the time of King Edward the sixth hath been progressive and more perfected in this point amongst the Rest in securing the Lords-day from servile imployments Dr. Heylin Our Author proceeds Fol. 386. In the first year of King Edward the sixth it was recommended to the care of the most grave Bishops and others assembled by the King at his Castle at Windsor and when by them compleated set forth in Print 1548. with a Proclamation in the Kings name to give Authority thereunto being also recommended unto every Bishop by especial Letters from the Lords of the Councel to see the same put in execution And in the next year a penalty was imposed by Act of Parliament on such who should deprave or neglect the use thereof Our Author here mistakes himself and confounds the businesse making no difference between the whole first Liturgy of King Edward the sixth and a particular form of Administration c. Fuller Iâ— the Reader by perusing this Note of the Animadvertor can methodize the Confusion charged on me I shall be right glad thereof And I wish that the nice distinction of the Liturgie and the form of Administration may be informative unto him more than it is to me The close of this Animadversion whether this Book brought under a Review much altered in all the parts and offices of it be unto the better or unto the worse Leaves it under a strong suspition of the negative in the Judgement of the Animadvertor And now I shall wonder no more at the Animadvertors falling foul on my Book who as he confesseth am not known unto him by any injurie Seeing such distance in our judgements that he conceiveth the
Commissioners More of this fine stuff we may see hereafter In the mean time we may judge by this remnant of the whole Piece and find it upon proof to be very sleight and not worth the wearing For first the Gentleman could not and our Author cannot chuse but know that a Convocation and a Synod as us'd in England of late times are but the same one thing under divers names the one borrowed from a Grecian the other from a Latin Originall The Convocation of the Clergy of the Province of Canterbury being nothing but a Provinciall Synod as a Nationall Synod is nothing else but the Convocation of the Clergy of both Provinces Secondly our Author knowes by this time that the Commission which seems to makes this doughty difference changed not the Convocation into a Synod as some vainly think but onely made that Convocation active in order to the making of Canons which otherwise had been able to proceed no further then the grant of Subsidies Thirdly that nothing is more ordinary then for the Convocations of all times since the Reformation to take unto themselves the name of Synods For the Articles of Religion made in the Convocation Anno 1552. are called in the Title of the Book Articuli de quibus in Synodo Londinensi convenit c. The same name given to those agreed on in the Convocation Anno 1562. as appears by the Title of that Book also in the Latin Edition The Canons of the year 1571. are said to be concluded and agreed upon in Synodo inchoatâ Lond. in aede Divi Pauli c. In the year 1575. came out a Book of Articles with this Title following viz. Articles whereupon it was agreed by the most reverend father in God the Arch-bishop of Canterbury and other the Bishops and the whole Clergy in the Province of Canterbury in the Convocation or synod holden at Westminster The like we find in the year 1597. being the last active Convocation in Queen Elizabeth's time in which we meet with a Book entituled Constitutiones Ecclesiasticae c. in Synodo inchoatâ Londini vicesimo quinto die mensis Octobris Fuller I request the Reader would be pleased to call to his remembrance a passage of the Animadvertors on my fifth Book relating to the Reigne of King Henry the Eighth I must confess my self to be at a loss in this intricate Labyrinth unless perhaps there were some criticall difference between a SYNOD and a CONVOCATION the first being called by the Arch-bishops in their severall and respective Provinces as the necessities of the Church the other onely by the King as his occasions and affairs did require the same I find my self now in the like labyrinth and can meet with no Ariadne's thread to extricate my self I confess commonly CONVOCATION and SYNOD pass for Synonyma's signifying one and the same thing yet some make this nice difference 1. Convocation which is in the beginning and ending parallel with the Parliament 2. Synod which is called by the King out of Parliament I acknowledge my self a Seeker in this point and will not wilfully bolt mine eyes against the beams of Truth by whomsoever delivered Mean time I crave leave to enter this my dissatisfaction herein seeing the Animadvertor so lately did confess his in a thing of the like nature Dr. Heylyn Our Author finally is to know that though the members of the two Convocations of York and Canterbury did not meet in person yet they communicated their counsells the results of the one being dispatcht unto the other and there agreed on or rejected as they saw cause for it Fuller I am not to know it for I knew it before and nothing in my Book appears to the contrary that the two Provinciall Synods privately did communicate their transactions as they were in fieri in the making and at last publickly viz. when We at Westminster had compleated the Canons by Our subscription thereunto Dr. Heylyn Which laid together shewes the vanity of another passage in the Speech of Sir Edward Deering where he vapoureth thus viz. A strange Commission wherein no one Commissioner's name is to be found a strange Convocation that lived when the Parliament was dead a strange holy Synod where one part never saw never conferred with the other Lastly Sir Edward Deering seems to marvell at the Title of the Book of Canons then in question expressing that they were treated upon in Convocation agreed upon in Synod And this saith he is a new Mould to cast Canons in never us'd before But had he looked upon the Title of the Book of Canons Anno 1603. he had found it otherwise The Title this viz. Constitutions and Canons Ecclesiasticall treated by the Bishop of London President of the Convocation for the Province of Canterbury c. and agreed upon with the Kings Majesty's licence in their Synod begun at London Anno 1603. And so much for the satisfaction of all such persons whom either that Gentleman or this our Author have mis-informed and consequently abused in this particular Fuller He hath now vapoured out that which by the Apostle is termed even a vapour which appeareth for a little time and then vanisheth away Being dead the Animadvertor might have spared this expression upon him I believe neither he nor the Author did wittingly or willingly mis-informe any and therefore cannot by any charitable pen be justly condemned for abusing them Dr. Heylyn Our Author proceeds Ibid. Now because great Bodies move slowly c. it was thought fit to contract the Synod into a select Committee of some twenty six beside the Prolocutor No such contracting of the Synod as our Author speaks of There was indeed a Committee of twenty six or thereabouts appointed to consider of a Canon for uniformity in some Rites and Ceremonies of which number were the principall of those whom he calls Dissenters and our Author too amongst the rest who having agreed upon the Canon it was by them presented to the rest of the Clergy in Convocation and by them approv'd And possible it is that the drawing up o◠some other Canons might be referr'd also to that Committee as is accustomed in such cases without contracting the whole House into that small body or excluding any man from being present at their Consultation Fuller I know not what offence the word contracting may give but my meaning obvious to any Reader is this that a select Committee was appointed to prepare matters of greatest importance No member being excluded from being present at but from giving a Vote in that Consultation Dr Heylyn But whereas our Author afterwards tells us that nothing should be accounted the Act of the House till thrice as he takes it publickly voted therein It is but as he takes it or mistakes it rather and so let it go Fuller He might have allowed me the liberty of that modest Parenthesis without carping at it Some things I confesse having since better informed my self passed at the first
to the Tower in the end of December they were released by an Order of the House of Peers on the fifteenth of February being the next day after the Bill for taking away their Votes had passed in Parliament But then the Commons looking on them as devested of their Right of Peerage and consequently as they thought in the same rank with themselves return'd them to the Tower again and having kept them there some few weeks long enough to declare their power discharged them upon Bail and so sent them home Fuller A great cry and a little Wool 1. From the end of December to the fifteen of February was seven weekes 2. They continued afterwards there some few weeks as the Animadvertor confesseth Weeks imply two at the least some few denote 4 or 5 in proper sense Lastly some of the Bishops staid there longer than others even for lack of Money to pay their fees If the Reader be pleased to take all these up he will find them fall little short of 18 Weeks And let not the Animadvertor wilfully persist in an error who may know from Bishop Wren that none of them were released before the sixth of May. Dr. Heylyn Our Author proceedeth Fol. 195. About this time the word Malignant was first born as to common use in England and fixed as a note of disgrace on the Kings Party and because one had as good he dumb as not speak with the volge possibly in that sense it may occur in our ensuing History Nothing more possible then that our Author should make use of any word of disgrace with which the Kings party was reproached Fuller The Animadvertor in this Point proves himselfe a Malignant indeed taxing me with so odious and untrue an Aspersion nothing more improbable then that my hand should hurt that Cause which my Heart did Honour in the Writing of my Book Though this Passage be by me premised by way of prevention if the Word Malignant casually fell from my Pen yet such was my Cautiousnesse that very rarely if at all it is used as mine own word Besides the Ingenuous Reader knoweth that the Writers of Civill Dissentions are sometimes necessitated for differencing of Parties to use those Tearmes they do not approve Dr. Heylyn And if he calls them formerly by the name of Royalists and High-Royalists as he sometimes doth it was not because he thought them worthy of no worse a Title but because the name of Malignant had not then been born Fuller Not so For then since the Name MALIGNANT was born I would have used it on them which I do not Those words of the Animadvertor worthy of no WORSE a TITLE intimate as if ROYALIST and HIGH-ROYALIST were BAD TITLES which if not Honourable must be Inoffensive If ROYAL the Primitive be GOOD a ROYAL Law a ROYAL Priest-hood ROYALIST the Derivative cannot be BAD much lesse HIGH-ROYALIST except Height makes that BAD being added thereunto which was GOOD before Dr. Heylyn He cannot chuse but know that the name of Round-head was born at the same time also and that it was as common in the Kings Party to call the Parliamentarians by the name of Round-heads as it was with those of the Parliament Party to call the King's adherents by the name of Malignants And yet I do confidently say that the word Round-head as it was fixed as a note of disgrace on the Parliament party doth not occur on any occasion whatsoever in our Authors History But kissing goes by favour as the saying is and therefore let him favour whom he pleases and kisse where he favoureth Fuller I confesse the name ROUND-HEAD at the same time Trundled about in the Mouths of many men but I conceived it beneath an Historian to make use thereof because his Majesty in all his Proclamations Declarations and other Acts of State never made mention thereof whilst MALIGNANT was often used in Acts of Parliament But if my bare Mention not using of MALIGNANT be so distastfull I will Cut down all the Ill Wood therein to the last Sprig quench all the ill fire therein to the last Spark I meane God willing totally delete that Paragraph in the next Edition Dr. Heylyn Our Author proceeds Fol. 196. By this time ten of the eleven Bishops formerly subscribing their Protestation to the Parliament were after some months durance upon good Baile given released c. Of the releasing of these Bishops we have spoke already We are now onely to observe such mistakes and errors as relate unto it And first they were not released at or about the time which our Author speaks of that is to say after such time as the word plunder had begun to be us'd amongst us Plunder both name and thing vvas unknovvn in England till the beginning of the War and the War began not till September An. 1642. which vvas some months after the releasing of the Bishops Fuller I hope novv the Animadvertor is dravving to a Conclusion because an Ague commonly is leaving one vvhen beginning to double its Fits Formerly he found fault but once in four Pages novv four times in one Paragraph Here is nothing Mis-timed in this point the name PLUNDER beginning in England some Months the Practise thereof some Weeks before our War Indeed COMMISSION'D PLUNDER begun with the war but UNCOMMISSION'D PLUNDER vvas before it committed by those vvhose activity onely did Authorise or rather Impower them to take avvay the goods of others Such vvere they that PLUNDERED for I am sure they will not say they ROBBED the House of the Countesse Rivers at Long-Mellford in Suffolk before the University of Cambridge sent their Plaâ—e to the King to York and consequently before the Warr. Dr. Heylyn Secondly he telleth us that ten of the eleven which had subscribed were released whereas there were twelve which had subscrib'd as appears fol. 187. whereof ten were sent unto the Tower and the other two committed to the custody of the Black-Rod fol. 188. And if ten onely were releast the other two must be kept in custody for a longer time whereas we find the Bishop of Norwich at home in his Diocess and the Bishop of Durham at liberty in London they being the two whom he makes so far favour'd by the Parliament as they scap't the Tower Fuller The small numerall fault shall be amended to prevent exceptions in my next Edition Dr. Heylyn Thirdly he telleth us that when all others were releast Bishop Wren was still detain'd in the Tower which is nothing so That Bishop was releast upon Bail when the other were returned unto his Diocesse as the others did and there continued for a time when of a suddain he was snatched from his House at Downham in the Isle of Ely carried to the Tower and there imprisoned never being brought unto a Hearing nor any cause shewed for his imprisonment to this very day Fuller Would it were nothing so indeed Si mea cum vestris valuissent Vota If the Animadvertor's
and Author's Joynt-desires might have taken Effect there had been no difference about this passage in my Book Tuque domo proprià nos Te Praesul Poteremur Thou hadst enjoy'd thy house and we Prelate had enjoyed Thee But alas it is so He is still and still when all other Bishops are released detained in the Tower where I believe he maketh Gods Service his perfect freedom My words as relating to the time when I wrote them containe too much sorrowfull truth therein Dr. Heylyn Fourthly Archbishop Williams after his restoring unto liberty â—ent not into the Kings Quarters as our Author saith but unto one of his own houses in Yorkshire where he continued till the year 1643. and then came to Oxford not that he found the North too cold for him or the War too hot but to solicit for renâ—wing of his Commendam in the Deanry of Westminster the time for which he was to hold it drawing towards an end Fuller Nothing false or faulty The Arch-bishop of York stayed some weeks after his enlargement at Westminster thence he went privately to the house of Sir Thomas Hedley in Huntingon shire and thence to his Palace at Caâ—ood nigh York where he gave the King a magnificent Intertainment King James setled the Deanry of Westminster under the great Seal on Dr. Williams so long as he should continue Bishop of Lincoln Hinc illa Lacrimae hence the great heaving and hussing at Him because He would not resigne it which was so signal a Monument of his Master's favour unto him Being Arch-bishop of York King Charls confirmed his Deanry unto him for three years in lieu of the profits of his Arch-bishoprick which the King had taken Sede vacante So that it is probable enough the renuing that Tearm might be a Joynt-Motive of his going to Oxford But I see nothing which I have written can be cavilled at except because I call Yorkshire the King's Quarters which as yet was the Kings WHOLE when the Arch-bishop first came thither as being a little before the War began though few Weeks after it became the King's Quarters Such a Prolepsis is familiar with the best Historians and in effect is little more then when the Animadvertor calleth the Gag and Appello Caesarem the Books of Bishop Montague who when they were written by him was no though soon after a Bishop Dr. Heylyn Our Author proceeds fol. 196. Some of the aged Bishops had their tongues so used to the language of a third Estate that more then once they ran on that reputed Rock in their speeches for which they were publickly shent and enjoyned an acknowledgment of their mistake By whom they were so publickly shent and who they were that so ingenuously acknowledged their mistake as my Author telleth us not so neither can I say whether it be true or false Fuller I tell you again It is true The Earl of Essex and the Lord Say were two of the Lords though this be more then I need discover who checked them And of two of those Bishops Dr. Hall late Bishop of Norwich is gone to God and the other is still alive Dr. Heylyn But I must needs say that there was small ingenuity in acknowledging a mistake in that wherein they had not been mistaken or by endeavouring to avoid a reputed Rock to run themselves on a certain Rock even the Rock of Scandall Fuller Their brief and generall acknowledgment that they vvere sorry that they had spoken in this point vvhat had incurred the displeasure of the Temporall Lords was no trespass on their own ingenuity nor had shadovv of scandall to others therein I confess men must not bear fals-witness either against themselves or others nor may they betray their right especially when they have not onely a personall concernment therein but also are in some sort Feoffees in trust for Posterity However vvhen a predominant Power plainly appears which will certainly over-rule their cause against them without scandall they may not to say in Christian prudence they ought to wave the vindication of their priviledges for the present waiting wishing and praying for more moderate and equall times wherein they may assert their right with more advantage to their cause and less danger to their persons Dr. Heylyn For that the English Bishops had their vote in Parliament as a third Estate and not in the capacity of temporal Barons will evidently appear by these reasons following For first the Clergy in all other Christian Kingdoms of these Northwest parts make the third Estate that is to say in the German Empire as appears by Thuanus the Historian lib. 2. In France as is affirmed by Paulus Aemilius lib. 9. In Spain as testifieth Bodinus in his De Repub. lib. 3. For which consult also to the Generall History of Spain as in point of practise lib. 9 10 11 14. In Hungary as witnesseth Bonfinius Dec. 2. l. 1. In Poland as is verified by Thunus also lib. 56. In Denmark as Pontanus telleth us in Historia rerum Danicarum l. 7. The Swedes observing antiently the same form and order of Government as was us'd by the Danes The like we find in Camden for the Realm of Scotland in which antiently the Lords Spirituall viz. Bishops Abbots Priors made the third Estate And certainly it were very strange if the Bishops and other Prelates in the Realm of England being a great and powerfull body should move in a lower Sphere in England then they do elsewhere But secondly not to stand onely upon probable inferences we find first in the History of Titus Livius touching the Reign and Acts of King Henry the fifth that when his Funerals were ended the three Estates of the Realm of England did assemble togeâ—her and declared his Son King Henry the sixth being an Infant of eight months old to be their Soveraign Lord as his Heir and Successor And if the Lords Spirituall did not then make the third Estate I would know who did Secondly the Petition tendred to Richard Duke of Glocester to accept the Crown occurring in the Parliament Rolls runs in the name of the three Estates of the Realm that is to say The Lords Spirituall and Temporall and the Commons thereof Thirdly in the first Parliament of the said Richard lately Crowned King it is said expresly that at the request and by the consent of the three Estates of this Realm that is to say the Lords Spirituall and Temporall and Commons of this Land assembled in this present Parliament and by Authority of the same it be pronounced decreed and declared That our said Soveraign Lord the King was and is the very and undoubted King of this Realm of England c. Fourthly it is acknowledged so in the Statute of 1 Eliz. cap. 3. where the Lords Spirituall and Temporall and the Commons in that Parliament assembled being said expresly and in terminis to represent the three Estates of this Realm of England did recognize the Queens Majesty to be their true
